POPPIES. 



Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring as possible where they are to remain, as 

 they do not sland transplanting. S"w very thinly, preferably in cloudy weather or after a shower, 

 barely cover the seed, press down firmly, and they will come up in a few days. If they come up 

 too thickly they must be thinned out to stand ,3 to 4 inches or more apart if you wish best results. 

 It is well to make several sowings at intervals to keep up a succession of bloom. If picked just 



before expanding the flowers will last several days. It is 

 also advisable to pick the old flowers as soon as fallen, 

 which will lengthen the blooming season quite a while.
